    No thanks, the exchange/mail changes are so bad I am spending my money else where this month.

    The Epic Phoenix token really should be switched for a pack that offers a choice of that token or a Epic-Tier Phoenix Ship Account Unlock!

    Three nice ships in there, but I'll have to pass on this.

    Sadly not worth the expense at least to me 😕

    Interesting; I didn't expect the Son'a dread to hit Mudd before the Annorax. I know it often gets overlooked, but the Son'a Dread is surprisingly nimble with a 9 base turn rate(Aux2Damp or Comp Engines will easily put it into destroyer/heavy escort maneuverability). The deployable sails and starship trait aren't really worth using(the sails can give you conal damage, but you're effectively locked in place and NEED Aux2Damp to prevent it being canceled by interrupts). The console can do some very nice damage - it pairs particularly well with the genesis console for overlapping wide-area death-zoning. Fighters are decent if you go with a drain setup, especially with the Voth Rampart's trait that gives them Aceton mode(effectively turning each fighter into a mobile tyken's rift with guns). Otherwise, it's a 4/3 science vessel with a hangar that is 'almost' as nimble as a regular science ship.

    Another bundle I personally pass on. I wonder why we don't see good mudd bundles anymore like they used to be. You had at least one or two ships in there you either wanted to fly or added a strong trait or console to your collection. Haven't seen that in a while and there is still plenty out there. I think I passed on the last 3 or 4 mudd bundles now ( not that the event ship one was ever in consideration ). Who ever puts them together, maybe give the task to somebody else...

    Meh, I'm not impressed.

    Generally, speaking I don't care much about alien ships anymore. I do like the Son'a dreadnought and I had considered getting it through an event campaign pack in the past. But that one ship isn't worth spending so much money on and although I could get 4 C-store ships with it, I already have too many of those as well to see any interesting options at the moment.

    Frankly, I have this issue with many of these bundles. In many cases I either already have some of the contents unlocked on a few toons through LB keys - or there's only one ship I actually want.


    These packs are going to be a lot more interesting if we could exchange at least some of the premium ships in them.


    And yes, I agree with @inferiority : Epic Phoenix tokens should unlock the ships bought with them for the entire account. I mean, that was the purpose of the Mudd packs, wasn't it - to make otherwise single-character stuff available on the entire account?

    I thought a point of the Mudd's Bundles were to make some hard to acquire items account-wide even if at a premium price. Yet this Son'a Collector has a console that can only be used on Son'a ships. That feels very draconian.

    The ships are account-wide unlocks. Wouldn't be the first time, though, that a console was restricted to a certain type of ship. 🤷‍♀️

    It's not draconian if the ship obviously doesn't have the parts required.
